Vlc 2.0

[Extol11]

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop via wubi, I installed it about one week ago. I'm going to install VLC on it but I want to be sure that I'm installing the 2.0 version. The information section in Ubuntu Software Center doesn't say anything about the version it's about to install. That makes me wonder if there is a version 2.0 on Ubuntu yet or if it already is 2.0 and they just didn't put that info in there. I won't install it until I'm 100% sure it's the version 2.0. All the help will be appreciated.

As you are running 10.04 , you can go to the synaptic package manager by going to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager and entering vlc in the search box.

When it comes up just click on the entry and then right click and select properties then open the versions tab.

I just posted this here so that you know how to find out in future, the version in the repositories is actually 1.0.6 at the moment.



The vlc team also recommend that 10.04 users install version 1.1.0 manually as the 1.0.6 version is now outdated. See here for details:

Hope this is of some help

Thanks a whole lot. Is there any .deb package that I can use?
